Wayne Brady: Making %@It Up!
Wayne Brady: Making %@It Up! is one of the more unique shows currently running on the Las Vegas strip. The show is over at the Venetian Hotel.
As the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog recently noted:
A true Vegas variety show incorporating singing, dancing, acting, comedy and even that most perplexing of art forms: mime, Wayne Brady’s Making %@It Up takes the theatrical task to the next level, with fully improvised performance vignettes interspersed among prepared musical tribute performances.
Dialing the pressure up even higher, show business virtuoso Wayne Brady has to not only make everything up on the spot, but also make it consistently funny. Fortunately, Brady delivers with heavy doses of witty, sharp, topical humor, keeping even a Monday night audience in complete hysterics.
Even before the show thought you are cleverly incorporated into the action as the ushers hand out bogus song titles and odd phrases which may be called upon later in the show for Wayne to use for comedic relief or even making up song lyrics on the spot!
Brady does use the audience to his advantage as well, often commenting on someone's wardrobe or asking questions which are incorporated into the act. His ability to just make up jokes or break into song spontaneously is quite a site! He also sometimes ties one skit into something else later in the show, much to the amusement (or embarrassment) of the audience member the original bit was taken from!
The show is not purposely racy or vulgar but depending on the direction Brady is heading in there's some adult themes and language, but it's all relevant and not just for shock value.
The show shows off Wayne's unique talent as a master of improv and unlike other shows no two performance is ever the same! It helps keep the show fresh and exciting which makes it a perfect fit for Las Vegas!
